Orpington Breeds (What are they all?)

They maybe E^Wh/e^b.
My Project Orpington hen has salmon breasts, so I think she carries e+.

Wheatens also have the wing bar, but I'm pretty certain my birds carry partridge.
I have a Silver Partridge hen I produced who's a cross of Buff Orpington/Barred Rock X RIR, who looks like an Iowa Blue.
Interesting. Are self buff orps supposed to carry partridge?

I'm not sure, but there's lots to learn from breeding. My first Orpingtons I got were originally from Hoover's, which I started using for the project.
I got more from them this year since they're the source of partridge for my project. My primary genetics is Wheaten though.
 
Couple of our young lavender orpington hens. Still a work in progress but they are great birds.
